I learned so much at CCTC and it has changed my life. I have many many friends that say I have a certain “aura” or an inner peace. And I do! There have been tests upon tests the Lord has given me in the last 4 years. People have asked me how I have survived. It was CCTC. I will always be grateful to CCTC. I love life and the Lord and love serving others and the Lord. Funny how just 4 years ago I wanted to commit suicide and now I cannot believe I could of even thought about it. God Bless you today and always.

I’ve learned a lot by completing this relationship project. First of all, it has given me a greater perspective on just who God is. God doesn’t just expect us to follow the law, he expects us to have the right motives. God looks at our hearts. I’ve learned that I’m really a big ball of selfishness. That’s ok though because I have a savior and I trust that God’s not going to allow me to stay this way. I learned that I can not love the way that God commands us to love without His help. I will put myself first most every time. I learned that the negative emotions that I have are indicators that God is showing me something about me and that my focus shouldn’t be to find out who’s aggravating me, but to slow down and listen and learn what God is trying to say. I learned from the relationship project that putting self first can look like trying to do the right thing in my eyes. I thought I was doing the right thing by demanding that my roommate do what I wanted him to do. It sounds wrong now when I write it that way, but before I would have said I’m doing the right thing because I will look like a good Christian to my Christian friends. I was so focused on myself that I wasn’t willing to think about him and what he wanted or needed. Not only that, but I wasn’t thinking about what God wanted. Being reminded that love is active is very helpful. Loving God and others isn’t passive. I’m asking God to show me more about what this means because I’m not sure how to love and serve people well. I also learned some valuable ways of relating to my father, mother, boss and friends working on this project. The husband-wife and Christ-Church perspectives from scripture were the most helpful. It helped me to understand that submission state of my heart and will play out in how I behave…not the other way around. I have really enjoyed this class. Thanks so much for allowing me to be me and answering my questions honestly and for not judging me too harshly. I’ve appreciated all that you’ve said and thought about your comments carefully. They’ve really been helpful to me. Thanks for teaching and grading. I’m thankful for your dedicated service.
